Associated Architects: Dell Mitchell Architects
Contractor: Perini and Sea-Dar Construction

Three side-by-side buildings, 128 Beacon Street was conceived and designed as French Academic style single-family homes and carriage houses by architect George Snell in 1861. In the 1940’s, Emerson College acquired the properties for their School of Communications, and in 2000, Robert and Bruce Beal purchased the classroom buildings from Emerson. With the guidance, support and insight of the Back Bay Architectural Commission, Rockwood Capital, the CBT Architects design team and construction artisans at Perini / SeaDar, the buildings’ original exterior architectural significance and interior historic details were reincarnated and re-invigorated to provide eleven comfortable new condominium residences in the Back Bay.
